Tiffany K edited the memorable quotes of The Fox's Walk Monday, November 19, 2012.
- Edited a quotation: “Not only did I feel that is was cruel of Uncle William to press Sonia and to place Grandmother and Aunt Katie in a morally indefensible position while crudely trampling on the small flowering hopes and possible necessary self-deceptions of the two grief stricken old ladies, but he had offended me by coarsening the mystery that Sonia offered. He appeared to equate Sonia's subtle arts with the crude antics of an officers' mess and I, for the first time, saw the thoughtless, clumsy, literal-minded way that men destroy the fragile, not always rational structures that women build and depend upon. The damage inflicted by my father and O'Neill, I now understand, was a condition of their masculinity as well as of their individual
natures.natures. p.206-7”Alice Moore
